If you have any other methods/techniques which helped you a lot in reaching B1, please share them here in the comments for other learners 🙏🙏

I learnt from A1- B2 in 11 months then I took 4months B2 course where you just have to speak and speak, the teacher will correct your mistakes but it was “freiwillig sprechen ohne Angst” and we watched a lot of videos, movies, musics and made presentations and you’ll present. Those 4 months was relatively to my intensive course more interesting for me.

[annejoypenda]

I must say I am lucky since I used your channel to study A1 to B1 in 3 months. I did my B1 exams and passed.

[marjonakhalimjonova]

I needed exactly 4 months from zero to B2 level. Everything is possible once you're motivated enough!

[Potatoman]

Thanks so much! I recently Achieved A2 and i couldnt have done it without these videos. This video was really helpful! Tausend dank

[tiagomello]

It's one of the few German learning-related videos that caught my attention. Thank you.

[ve.re.]

Super Video, danke!! As a German teacher I can absolutely agree and encourage all learners to not give up, have realistic expectation, put work in it, keep on repeating, immersing yourself in the language and get the basics right..and of course: ENJOY your German Journey 😉💪

0 to A2 in one and half years. Work full time and enrolled in a two hours per week course over the period. Apart from review in the form of homework I have supplemented my learning with YouTube lessons (including YourGerman Teacher) and plenty of reading. This timeline looks like it's in the ballpark. I don't feel stupid or particularly clever. But now I have enrolled in an intensive course in Germany this year to get me over the line to B1. Greetings from Sydney.

[javierechevarria]

Sehr gut video. Sie sind ein perfekt Lehrer. Vielen Danke!!!

[angelgenio]

Vielen dank, this advise is so realistic and no dilly dally. Thank you - a casual German learner everyday. This even motivates me.

[majjing]

I love your videos. I even understand your explanation more clearly than my teacher now at b2. Andddd your videos were really a huge help back then when i was starting to learn german and was able to passed A1. Kudos🎉

[neelakshikushwaha]

Thankyou for this video ❤ Love all your videos. They are so simple to understand. I am doing B1 now but I got all my A1 and A2 basics cleared from your videos. Many videos have been an eye opener for me. Thanks to Johannes video on A1 Prufungstraining I was able to prepare myself and could clear the A1 exam 😊 Preparing for A2 exam now and waiting for more videos on B1 Level 🙂

[crazyguy]

Thanks so much Luzi Teacher for a Great lesson. Yes you cleared us very nicely. Stay Blessed.

[Edith_creation]

When i think of giving up, I come to YouTube and watch your videos, you are really the best I hope some day i reach where you are!

[kiplangatbrian]

This really good. I tried chatting with ChatGPT in German and found that it has grammar problems. I even corrected it since I am already at B1 level.

[AdrianLopez-ulbl]

thanks for your time here and all the info.

[joshuachristopher]

Thanks for the video. So realistic time frame.

[cloudyskies]

I marathoned your videos and used the Living Language & Asimil textbooks in order to pass the A1 & A2 exams. I also listen to Easy German in the background while I'm at work. However my methodology was sehr chaotisch so for B1 I will be going back and doing your official courses to methodically review and make sure I haven't missed anything.

[Electra]

Am getting so much information from you and your videos. Am a new subscriber and have gained so much from just the 5-6 videos I have watched over the past few days. Your views here are definitely helpful, realistic and encouraging to me. Your delivery and subject matter on each video keep me very interested in the German language. Thank you for all of your efforts here and in the future.
